Executive Summary
The purpose of this summary report is too highlight issues that have been encountered by the project team on the MANSCI contract. This three-page report provides highlighted areas of concern in an effort to layout the problems and present solutions.

COST
Appendix 1 contains a detailed Project Cost Analysis for this project. The cost of the terminals to us from W&S was £18K and we charged MANSCI £38K making a clear profit of £200K on the 10 Terminals. At yesterdays meeting with Ian Simpson , the Senior Systems Manager at MANSCI, requested a further duplicate terminal per site. Isobel will quote this to him once we have confirmed the cost with W&S.
W&S have requested a contribution to overtime working to reduce the timescale on the modifications to the Terminals. The cost quoted is £12K to reduce to 15 days and a further £12K to reduce to 10 days. The options are:
1. Pass this cost onto the client.
2. Take the longer view with MANSCI and absorb this cost.
3. Refuse to pay W&S and enforce their contract responsibility (may be difficult as we only have a letter of intent!).
4. Get Bill Ferguson to negotiate cost down with W&S
Opto Cablayers have been reported as being in financial difficulties. This is crtitical to the project as
